I presume if he joins us it will be on a multi year deal. Want to avoid a situation where we are carrying deadwood down the road just to cover a short-term gap. If we sign him, hope it’s because Emery sees him as a longterm solution.
-
Ultimately you want to bring in players that are consistent and dependable. Traore did not make the grade. For all his moments of magic, there were lots of liabilities with his play.
-
The same as with Traore. They want him out. Hey, but they were wrong about Carew 15 years ago!
-
Emery said in the press conference that he will leave. Guess at the end of the transfer window.
-
Similar arguments were made for Traore - that he was good in previous seasons. Current form is really important - especially for attackers.
-
Would be disappointed with this. Cant get a game at struggling Lyon and flopped on loan at Atletico Madrid. Why would he be successful here? If we pay any fee for a player that is out of contract this summer and hardly plays, I’ll seriously question our financial dealings.
-
Emery mentioned players leaving. Ings transfer is likely part of a bigger plan.
-
And on the other hand seems like we always pay top dollar or get totally fleeced for any incomings.
-
Feel we could have squeezed more for him given it’s the mid-season and West Ham are desperate.
-
Have posted this several times on this thread - big fan of his.
-
We are basically going to finish mid-table. If he isn't in UE's longterm plan and we can get good money for him, would not be opposed to selling him and finding someone who suits our system better
-
Lange is hopeless. Needs to be replaced.
-
I keep an eye on MLS and had not really heard of him. It's not like he is a Alfonso Davies or Miguel Almiron who were established young stars in the league. Thus the 14M seems quite high for an unproven product. If we paid a few million more, probably could have gotten a solid player ready to contribute to the squad right away.
-
Or we could just sign JPA’s son who is another top Colombian U20 talent.
-
Big fan of KKH. Like Gabby, don't think his lower league stints are indicative of how he might perform in the Premier League. Some players can raise their game to the level.

At the same time feel Brighton would have paid around £5M for him not £14M. If it works out - then happy days, but if it turn out to be like Wesley or Traore - same fans celebrating the signing will be ripping the club for financial mismanagement.
-
Hopefully the next Benteke and not Keinan Davis. Fee seems very high for someone with limited experience. Even MLS and Chicago fans seem surprised by the fee.
-
Really have to question what Lange is doing. We have not discovered any hidden gems. Wasted money on players that were never going to be first team regulars. Academy results have also been atrocious.
-
Inconsistent in terms of scoring or attacking is understandable. Sloppy mistakes in dangerous situations are not.
-
Generally not a Bailey critic, but tonight against Leeds he reminded of Traore. Flashes of brilliance but lots of mistakes that could have really cost us. He needs to be reined in.
-
Thought we were really poor. Lucky to get all three points. Not sure how people are giving the manager performance as "very good"
-
need to play a low block and counter. We don't have the composure to control the midfield.
-
Total garbage. Worst half under Emery. Frustrating as it's obvious how Leeds were going to play. Leeds should have had a penalty and that offside was was sketchy.
-
I met the band in Boston, USA many years back. Geezer is really the only fan. Having said that, if Villa created a Black Sabbath inspired 3rd kit or something to the likes (believe West Ham did some collab with Iron Maiden), I could see the band getting involved as it’s all about getting attention these days. Sharon knows this well.

Player for player they are not. That is what makes me optimistic. We just need to hit our stride.
